The tangles appear to spring forth from the center! I love looking at your blog and am very inspired by your art mounted on canvas. I have mounted tiles on canvas too and would love to know how you finish them. Do you spray them or paint on varnish? I would really appreciate your expert knowledge here.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12487780883183779472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384426562036266920.post-85717575818329768712017-01-15T06:47:19.703-06:002017-01-15T06:47:19.703-06:00Wow!

The commentor mentioned that this is a fractal design, in fact called a Sierpinsky triangle.<br /><br />I&#39;ve adored fractals since I first encountered them. If they&#39;re unfamiliar to you, do check them out!<br /><br />I looked up Sierpinsky after someone on Facebook mentioned the same thing. This is a very similar design. Sierpinsky&#39;s gasket is indeed a fractal design. Of course, as a tangle it is less rigidly organized and can be drawn freehand. :)Margaret Bremnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345825008203812415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384426562036266920.post-80674872722782546072017-01-11T09:20:43.265-06:002017-01-11T09:20:43.265-06:00Thank you Ria.
